Abstract
Machine learning is used to refine a probability distribution for entropy coding video or image data. A probability distribution is determined for symbols associated with a video block (e.g., quantized transform coefficients, such as during encoding, or syntax elements from a bitstream, such as during decoding), and a set of features is extracted from video data associated with the video block and/or neighbor blocks. The probability distribution and the set of features are then processed using machine learning to produce a refined probability distribution. The video data associated with a video block are entropy coded according to the refined probability distribution. Using machine learning to refine the probability distribution for entropy coding minimizes the cross-entropy loss between the symbols to entropy code and the refined probability distribution.
